subject: Getting Your Moneys Worth On Brand Names? [print this page] 11/14/2011 - What is with the unnecessary add-ons in electronics in today's world? Speaking about the electronics you need to pay $200-$300 for just to listen to music (iPods, etc.). It isn't just these electronics either. This has happened to phones, video games, and much more. Remember when phones were just meant to call? Games were meant to play?Now however you have phones that can download apps or games and etc. On the other hand you have games that allow multimedia as well. Sure this is all great but the prices for such things make it truly ridiculous.
The products now have unnecessary add-ons which spike the price up. It is completely frustrating. For example eReaders that can use apps and other things which are unnecessary. It was made to read more efficiently. We have iPods who now use touch screen when back then we had just one big round button to push for music. It was good for playing music now the iPod is good for almost anything. Coming to video games the PS3 to be an example in this case has a Blu-ray player. When was this necessary on a video game console? For this year's holiday don't give these companies the satisfaction in these ridiculous prices just so they can make a little more on the product than what it is really worth. Go for it if you think it's worth it but while you go buy an iPod for $200 or more other people will buy a Gemei S5000A mp4 player for $45 on iSharegifts. Why? It is cheap and affordable and it gets the job done. It is a smart buy.
Final tips on Shopping
-Don't upgrade when you have the same product

-There are places which offer cheap prices and other products which could satisfy consumers.
-Be a smart buyer. It's that simple.
-Those tips are what every smart buyer needs to consider. The times are changing and nothing is affordable anymore. Everybody is out to make money or get money.
